Atlas Shrugged (Centennial Ed. HC) Review
The author seems to be one of those people, like George Orwell (1984), that can read the future based on what they were seeing at the time they write their novels. Her experience watching her homeland come under control of a stiffling government allowed her to see the trends in this country all the way back in the 50's.
Although we, in the USA, do not rely on railroads as much as we did (or should), you can almost plug any industry in this story and it dovetails with no problem. Our government, colleges, and industry leaders have teamed up to destroy the country and books like this help show how it happens. It's a great read but, unfortunately, she was right when she foretold the future of this great country. Highly recommend reading this.
This book will help you learn 'politics' in novel form, therefore not as boring as some of the other non-fiction books out there.
Atlas Shrugged (Centennial Ed. HC) Overview
The year 2005 marks Ayn Rand’s Centennial Year.
The astounding story of a man that said that he would stop the motor of the world—and did. Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged is unlike any other book you have ever read.
